PC-DMIS won't create an auto-circle

I have created a plane (1) and am attempting to create an auto-circle for a hole on that plane which is .098" in diameter. My probe is 3mm. So while yes, I understand the error message (Sizes for a contact feature should be greater than probe diameter.) I should be able to create a 1 point circle on that plane and have done this successfully in the past many many times. Any ideas what might be going on here?

And sorry, running 2017 R2 sp6... that recently updated... wonder if thats what is causing this to not work all the sudden.

So not having seen pcdims do this before let me see if i understand what you're doing.
The probe dia is bigger than the hole dia so as the probe comes down on the centerline of the hole the probe is in effect acting like a chamfer gage would, using the vertical distance to equate to a dia?
How do you get pcdmis to do a 1 point circle?
